Looking for some flip up covers for khales 1-6. Any recommendations?

Tenebraex. Just ordered a set for my Kahles K16i from EuroOptic for about $90/shipped.

Tenebraex or Aadland caps will be the best. I believe Vortex defenders can also perform well.

I've had the Tenebraex. They are the most overly cumbersome flip-caps imaginable. I know this is a German optic (okay, Austrian), but we don't need a German Mousetrap on either end of it!

I have ordered some Aadland caps, and I also have Vortex Defender caps left over from another scope. I plan to assess the situation when the Aadlands arrive, and see which I like best. I have used Aadland on NF and Leupold and LOVE them. VERY VERY LIGHT, very solid. Very simple. Best caps out there, IMO.

Just tried the Vortex Defenders and they are great. Not sure why you would spend more on caps than what the Defenders cost.

I use a see-thru Butler Creek Blizzard on the front and nothing on the rear. The main reason I have it set up like this is to keep dust/rain etc off the front lens when being stored upright. The clear front cap keeps it ready to shoot without flipping open any lenses.

I like the Defenders.  They're cheap and work well if they're made in a size that fits your scope.
